A video of a St. John’s man stuck in the snow outside his door while bantering with his mother has turned into a YouTube sensation.

“I’m stuck. I can’t move,” the man says, amid laughter in the background and his mother providing advice.

“Jumpin’ Jesus,” she says. “You better crawl. Look at the snow.”

Laurie Horlick told CBC News that the video she shot of her brother Barry and mother Maureen, which has been shown on the Ellen DeGeneres Show and shared widely through social media, was initially shot for the enjoyment of family and friends.

“But we're totally blown away at how far it's gone,” she said of the video, posted online Tuesday.

On Thursday, Newfoundland was still digging out from Tuesday’s heavy snow fall.
